How long to keep poolish?

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, and was seeking some advice.

I have prepared a poolish using active yeast, brown sugar, water/flour to equal parts.

Kinda forgot about it sitting there on the side, this was 2 days ago. It is covered with cling film.

My question is, would the poolish still be ok to use, or should I just start again?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Thanks

Cain
